Out of Singapore

Out Of Singapore a small independent film that sadly had some real potential. Not necessarily a major studio, but even a place like RKO could have given Out Of Singapore a few production values to make this story a classic.

Some elements of Treasure Island are present here as Noah Beery like Long John Silver is signed on to a ship Out Of Singapore. Not as a cook like Silver, but a first mate. Beery has a track record of having ships sunk out from under him. That should have sent warning bells off, but they sign him any way.

Of course Beery's been doing the sinking and robbing the cargoes along with Montagu Love and a band of cutthroats. But Beery makes a big mistake when he overthrows girlfriend Dorothy Burgess for his captain's daughter Miriam Seegar.

A brutal before the Code sea saga that had a lot of potential wasted with a rotten production.
